Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury
- In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batteries can cause severe injuries.
- When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk.
- Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging.
- Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium batteries are hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery.
- If the battery housing is damaged small amounts of the electrolyte may leak out. If this should happen, seal the lithium battery in airtight packaging and wipe up the traces of electrolyte using absorbent paper towels. You must wear protective rubber gloves when doing so. Clean your hands and the affected surface thoroughly with cold water.
- Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable lithium batteries. When charging lithium batteries you must use a suitable charging device intended for the purpose.
- Before disposing of the device remove the lithium batteries. Protect used lithium batteries against potential short circuits, e.g. by covering the poles with adhesive tape.
- Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extinguish a burning lithium battery.
External power supply
The device can be powered by an external power supply. Before connecting an
external power supply, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the
voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual
current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device
and possibly the user.
Unplug the external power supply before electrical storms occur and when the
device is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock
or fire.
Possible damage to lithium-ion batteries through incorrect storage
By deep discharge, lithium-ion batteries can be permanently damaged or lose
some of their capacity.
Before long breaks, charge the batteries to around 50 % of their capacity and
then switch off the device. Store the device at room temperature or cooler in
an environment as dry as possible. If the batteries are stored for a longer
period, recharge them to 50 % every three months.
Fully charge the batteries only shortly before use at room temperature.
Where to use the product

- in direct sunlight
- in conditions of extreme temperature or humidity
